catherine parrish: the idea for a reach out and read program came from some very bright pediatricians in boston, who decided that we do just about everything else for the young child. we're their most constant contact outside of their parents. we talk to them about car safety, home safety, nutrition, what to wear, where to go for good entertainment, why not talk to them about books? let's put these right here. which book would you like? i think we selected one. michael bryant: now we do that as early as six months for those kids, because while they can't read at that age, certainly exposing them to pictures and figures and colors and all of those things early on, i think really does enhance the foundation that they will build on ultimately. landa brown-willie: we read every day, maybe three or four times a day, in between me coming from school and going to work. and then my oldest two daughters also read to him at night. so it's very important because he's getting ready to start kindergarten next year, so he really needs to know what he's doing. catherine parrish: it's a ry exciting thg who nev
